Tests for steroids and drugs of abuse on middleweight champion
Anderson
Silva (Pictured) and challenger Vitor
Belfort came back clean following UFC 126 on Feb. 5 at the
Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, according to the Nevada
State Athletic Commission.

Silva knocked out Belfort with a front kick and follow-up punches
to retain his middleweight crown in spectacular fashion. The
35-year-old Brazilian has rattled off 14 consecutive victories, a
record 13 of them inside the Octagon. The defeat snapped a string
of five straight wins for Belfort, who had not been knocked out in
more than six years.

Griffin defeated Franklin by unanimous decision in the co-headliner
between former UFC champions. An Xtreme Couture Mixed Martial Arts
representative, Griffin had not competed in more than a year. The
31-year-old had been sidelined with a shoulder injury.
